Having fixed some problems with jsonget() lately, I have one more question: I'm not sure exactly when we should flag an error versus no error but return an empty string. If we get a duff json string on which json-glib chokes, that's obviously an error. And I think getting a node of a type we can't handle (not a string, not numeric -- if that's ever actually seen) should also produce an error. But what about no match to the query, or a match that gives a null node? Since Jack seems to have a good stock of examples -- and/or a good imagination for constructing them -- maybe he could experiment a little and see if we're arguably doing the wrong thing under certain conditions.
